August 2025

The garden here is very wild and untidy this year as for various reasons we have not kept on top of things. However, the established perennials have made it through and flowered despite our neglect of them! I went around the garden to pick a jug of flowers for the house and managed to put together this bunch, which includes seed heads from last year's forgotten leeks, fennel flowers and wild purple loosestrife.

I am once again stitching all things Christmas in high summer, but needs must to make enough stock for the coming season! Some new designs will be coming soon.... Remember, the Christmas Shop (tab on Home Page) is open all year, especially useful for those who like to 'shop early for Christmas!'
